Will Feds Get 0.5% Pay Raises In March?

Some House Republicans do not think feds should get a 0.5 percent pay raise in March. Twenty-eight lawmakers, led by Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) have introduced legislation to block it. He says it's an example of unrestrained spending that will cost taxpayers $11 billion over the next decade. Federal unions are rallying against the legislation. NTEU President Colleen Kelley said it's a line of attack that is an all-too-familiar staple of this Congress. The bill will be considered on the House floor next week.
